fixing am radio?

The best advice so far is about the electrolytic capacitors. If I was going to start working on this I would be tempted to change every electrolytic capacitor in the unit. Unlike ceramic capacitors electrolytic's dry out with age. At that point the most common failure is they will short out, you can identify them by the +/- sign on them. Hook them up backwards and you will let the smoke out of them :burnout:. You also do not have to use the same one that you are taking out. Example if it is a can you can use a axial lead one if you can make it fit. Also value is not near as critical as with with ceramics. The Electrolytics are used for filtering and not tuning. Just make sure to use something close in value. If it a 50 mfd you could easily use something larger, if it rated at 25 volts just make sure it is at least 25 volts, higher is okay. What you are wanting to do is not rocket science but you should have a basic understanding of electronics. Before I spent a lot of time and or money to get a AM radio working I would take a look at these folks.

They look pretty close to original and for $150 plus you end up with a radio that looks old school and work new school, even with CD and MP3's. That is what I going to do with my 67 Dart.

67Dart273, I started before the T-power you showed, I started on twin V and dynamotor units. Oh for the good ol days. Not really I'll keep the modern conveyances.

Good luck with the repair, PM me if you need some help, I may be a little slow answering as I'm on the road a lot. :thumleft:
